Now that the components have been added on the workspace, they have to be connected
together. Components connected together form a subJob. Jobs are composed of one or several
subJobs carrying out various processes.
In this example, as the tLogRow and
tFileOutputDelimited components are already connected, you only
need to connect the tFileInputDelimited to the
tLogRow component.
To connect the components together, use either of the following methods:
Right-click and click again
Procedure
Right-click the source component, tFileInputDelimited in this example.
In the contextual menu that opens, select the type of connection you want to use to
link the components, RowMain in this example.
Click the target component to create the link, tLogRow in this example.
Note that a black crossed circle is displayed if the target component is not
compatible with the link.
According to the nature and the role of the components you want to link
together, several types of link are available. Only the authorized connections
are listed in the contextual menu.
Drag and drop
Procedure
Click the input component, tFileInputDelimited in this
example, and drag and drop the arrow icon displayed onto the destination component,
tLogRow in this example.
A Row > Main connection is automatically created between the two components.
While this method requires less operation steps, it works only with these types of
Row connections: Main,
Lookup, Output,
Filter, and Reject, depending on the
nature and role of the components you are connecting.
